Celtic return to action on Wednesday evening only a month after winning the ‘treble treble’. They take on SC Pinkafeld in the first match of the pre-season tour of Austria.
Obviously it is only a pre-season friendly. The game will just be about getting the players fitness up to speed ahead of the Champions League qualifier against Sarajevo in a fortnight’s time.
Waiting to see player in action
However, there is one player that Hoops fans will hope plays in the game, as they have been waiting a while to see him in action. That player is Marian Shved.
Shved was signed by the Hoops in January, but completed the season for his old team Karpaty Lviv. He ended the season in style for Lviv, scoring 15 goals in 26 games.
Good move to start player
He sounds like the type of exciting winger that could get fans up off their seats. Therefore, with the Champions League qualifiers on the horizon, it would be a good move to start the player against Pinkafeld.
A good performance on his debut will give the player plenty of confidence heading into the season. Should he start the game, it will also show that Neil Lennon has faith in a player that he didn’t sign for the club.
Fans are interested to see what qualities Shved can bring to the side. They could get their first opportunity should be start against Pinkafeld.
